Post-budget 2018 Reaction Mr. Sivarama Krishnan, Partner and Leader Cyber Security, PwC India

It is heartening to notice that the Budget 2018 has put spotlight on cyber technologies and focused on creating CoEs (Center of Excellences) for emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IoT, Big Data and Blockchain, etc. The CoEs will be a key step in building solutions which embed security by design and privacy by design. In addition, the move to dispel the ambiguity around the use of cryptocurrencies in India will help to contain cybercrime and cyber terrorism.
